A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.

Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
